Chapter 300: Destined to Be Single
Early in the morning, Wu Dongming got up, washed, and put on his clothes and shoes just like usual.
Su Peng from his dorm had already left, most likely to look for An Han, and the other two roommates had only just gotten up.
Ever since he and An Han had less and less contact, he slowly began to focus more on studying.
Thinking carefully, it seemed like An Han had always been the one who led him astray in the past. Look at him now, going to class early every day, going to the library at noon, studying seriously at night…
Even though it was tiring, he felt that if he kept working hard, maybe next year he could choose to take the postgraduate exam.
Wu Dongming picked up his textbook for the morning class, opened the dorm room door, and looked up, only to see someone he did not expect.
Long Xing?
He used to visit An Han’s dorm often, so he was somewhat familiar with Long Xing, but the two of them never interacted much, whether in games or in daily life.
Looking at Long Xing in confusion, he turned back to glance inside the dorm, thinking Long Xing was looking for someone else.
“Su Peng went out early in the morning.”
“Mm.”
Long Xing nodded with no expression, as if he was just standing in the hallway to get some air or was waiting for his own roommate.
Wu Dongming didn’t think too much about it and yawned while walking toward the elevator.
Even though the dorm building had an elevator, during busy hours the ten-minute wait was worse than simply taking the stairs. But since it was still early, the elevator was very empty. However, when he walked into the elevator, Long Xing also followed him inside.
“???”
Wu Dongming instinctively turned his head to glance at him.
Maybe it was just a coincidence?
Long Xing, on the other hand, quietly observed Wu Dongming. The more he looked, the more he felt something was not quite right.
Even though he had only seen the person he liked once, and for less than a minute, something about Wu Dongming, his posture, his actions, even his height, felt different from his future wife.
His wife was a bit taller. But his wife had been wearing high heels…
He rarely studied another man so closely, but Wu Dongming was already starting to sense something strange.
“Brother Long, do you need something from me?” Wu Dongming asked.
Long Xing immediately looked away and tried hard to find a topic.
“Um… did you have a fight with An Han?”
Once he started talking, he became much more fluent. He spoke with the tone of an older brother who cared about An Han’s friendships.
“Last semester during finals, I noticed you two didn’t hang out much. I thought after winter break things would get better.”
Why was everyone asking about An Han?
Wu Dongming shook his head helplessly and frowned.
“No, we didn’t fight. It’s just that she…”
Would it sound bad if he said An Han looked too much like a girl?
“I’m preparing for the postgraduate exam, so I don’t have time to deal with her,” he changed his reason. “Besides, she has already moved out.”
Long Xing continued staring at Wu Dongming’s face.
The more he looked, the more he felt that Wu Dongming was really different from his wife. Height could be explained by high heels, and body shape couldn’t be seen clearly because of winter clothes, but the face shape and features were way too different.
Even with makeup, there was no way to change a diamond-shaped face into an oval face, right?
Wu Dongming felt that Long Xing’s staring was wrong. He felt a strange uneasiness in the elevator. When the elevator doors opened, he quickly rushed out.
But Long Xing still followed behind him. Whether Wu Dongming walked fast or slow, Long Xing kept a few meters behind him, not getting closer, simply staring quietly at his back.
He originally wanted to get breakfast, but now he no longer had the mood to eat. He seriously suspected that Long Xing might want to attack him.
Even though he didn’t know how he had offended Long Xing… if he really got punched, his small and weak body wouldn’t be able to take it.
While panicking, he reached the school gate, and right at that moment, he saw Su Peng riding a bicycle into the school, with An Han sitting on the back seat.
Without hesitation, Wu Dongming rushed over and called out, “Su Peng!”
An Han had been leaning sleepily against Su Peng’s back, but the moment she heard Wu Dongming’s voice, she suddenly woke up and stuck her head out.
She saw the slightly panicked Wu Dongming, and she also saw Long Xing following behind at an unhurried pace.
This…
Had the “attack” already begun?
How far had it gone?
Had he already been force-kissed?!
No way, right? That would be too scary!
Su Peng stopped his bike and watched in confusion as Wu Dongming ran toward them.
“An Han! Did you tell Long Xing to beat me up?!”
“Huh?” An Han was shocked by this sudden accusation. “When did I ever do that?”
“Then why is he…” Wu Dongming turned to look at Long Xing, “…staring at me the whole time, like some kind of creep.”
An Han also looked at Long Xing. She had to admit, even though Long Xing was fairly good-looking, his prison-inmate-style haircut, his ghost-like figure, and his unfriendly eyes… really made him look like he was planning to throw a sack over Wu Dongming and beat him up.
“It’s just a misunderstanding…” she sighed helplessly.
“Misunderstanding?”
She wanted to explain, but explaining to Wu Dongming was easy. The problem was Long Xing…
Judging from his expression, he already seemed to believe that the girl he fell in love with at first sight was Wu Dongming.
Long Xing wouldn’t do anything weird to him… right?
An Han felt the whole situation was ridiculous.
How could Long Xing still not realize that Wu Dongming was NOT the person he had fallen for?!
She yawned. Early in the morning, she hadn’t even fully woken up before Su Peng knocked on her door. After being rushed to wash up, her brain was still foggy, and she had been sleepily carried to school on the bike.
“An Han, Su Peng.” Long Xing slowly walked up and greeted them. “Want to go eat together?”
“Sure.”
Wu Dongming shrank back a little and shook his head quickly. “I’ll go to the classroom and read first.”
After saying that, he practically ran toward the teaching building as if he was escaping.
“When did he become so hardworking?” An Han muttered.
In the past, he had been just like her, rarely skipping class, but always reading novels or playing games during lessons. It kind of felt like he was leaving her behind.
“No one plays games with him anymore, so he can only read,” Su Peng explained beside her.
An Han didn’t pay much attention to Wu Dongming anymore. She turned to look at Long Xing and saw him sigh sadly.
“I guess it’s not him. Since you know that girl, why won’t you tell me anything?”
Finally, he figured it out!
Seeing his expression, An Han helplessly explained again, “I already told you, she doesn’t want to meet you. I asked her.”
Su Peng subconsciously wrapped his arm around An Han’s waist, once again showing the former love rival that An Han belonged to him, and added like a supportive husband,
“If she doesn’t want to see you, why keep pushing? You’ll meet another girl you like sooner or later.”
“……”
Watching the two of them being so close, Long Xing felt like he had just been force-fed dog food. He nodded weakly and sighed, then walked alone toward the cafeteria.
Last time he fell in love at first sight, at least things continued a little afterward. But this time, he didn’t even get to see the person again.
Was he really going to stay single forever?
